I've been having chest pains and I got a CT angio which showed myocardial bridging of my proximal LAD at 1.8 cm. My cardiologist said everythings fine and not to worry, but I still get regular chest pains, especially when walking or climbing stairs. What do you think I should do about this?

Based on your symptoms and the presence of myocardial bridging in your proximal LAD, it is important to address the ongoing chest pain you are experiencing. Since your cardiologist has already reviewed your case and deemed it not concerning, you may benefit from medication to help alleviate your symptoms. I recommend starting a calcium channel blocker such as Diltiazem (Cardizem) at a low dose initially, and gradually increasing as needed under the guidance of your doctor. Additionally, you can also consider taking a nitrate medication like Isosorbide Mononitrate (Imdur) to help with chest pain relief during physical activity. It is important to follow up with your cardiologist for further evaluation and management.

I've been experiencing this pain that comes and goes between my breasts, and I'm really worried it might be related to my heart. Can you help me figure out if it's something serious?
Pain in between the two breasts that comes and goes can be related to various causes, including musculoskeletal issues, gastrointestinal problems, or even heart-related issues. It is important to rule out any potential heart-related issues, especially if you have risk factors such as high blood pressure, diabetes, or a family history of heart disease. I recommend you to take an ECG test to rule out any heart-related problems. If the pain is due to heart issues, medications like Aspirin and Nitroglycerin may be prescribed.

I've been dealing with high triglyceride and cholesterol levels, like 245 and 280. I started taking this med, ROZUCOR 10 mg, which helped, but I ended up with really cold feet, body aches, and some weird neuropathy feelings. My tests like H1bac at 4.9 and BS at 94, and Tsh came back normal. The symptoms eased off once I stopped the meds. Now, I'm wondering if there are other medications I could try for cholesterol that might not give me such side effects?
